The Grand Jury concluded their
labors on Wednesday and adjourned
about two o'clock p. m.
Their report to the Court stated that
they had examined thirty witnesses,
made three presedtiments and found
three true bills. A committee Of three
of their number was appointed to visit
and examine the Aims House and
Asylum, which they did, reporting
that they found every thing in a most
satisfactory condition, that there were
twelve persons confined in the Asylum
and forty INDECENT persons at present
maintained in the Aims House. The
Jail was visited and examined by the
Grand Jury aud reported to be iu a
eanly and proper condition. They
reported leak in the roof and the
plastering on the ceiling being injured,
and recommended that the damage be
repaired without delay. They express
ed much graf 6caticn at the orderly
and peaceful condition of the county,
evidenced by the,.fact that there were no
offenses brought to their notice which
could be traced to drunkenness or the
use Of intoxicating drinks, which spoke
volumes infavor Of existing laws. This
we think may be fairly interpreted as
triumphant vindication of the present
prohibition law.

Lectures at Fairs.

The effort to introduce the agri-
culture lecture at the last annual fair
of the society. held on its grounds at
Elkton was not a success. This
however, was no fault of the lecture,
hut the failure may be readily found
in the mismanagemept. Lecturers, to
he sure, were engaged and were on
the ground and u tent-a very unpre-
Tending tent was provided for the
accommodation of the speakers and
few benches for the prospective
audience which never made its ap-
pcarance to occupy them. Nor is it
Mt all surprising that such was the
result. No effort was made by the
managers to introduce this feature
other than to set up small tent dit
fering in appearance no way from
numerous tents on the ground, ex-
cept in it's deserted and lifeless APP
pearance. There was no sign on
that tent 10 tell the public for what
purpose it was erected. All other
tents were open with persons station
ed IN front inviting the throng to en-.
ter and see what was to be seen and
hear what was to be heard.
There was an hour appointed in
the bills when lecture would be de-
livered but no hour reserved in the
exercises of the day for the lecture.

Letter From Cherry Hill.

ent from Cherry Hill furnishes the
following vigorous communication
in which she takes great comfort in
the prospective decadence of the
man power and rejoices in the good
time coming when the Lord OF
creation"will be compelled to take a
back seat A little more physical
training she thinks would bring the
weaker vessel up to level with the
".ord' as prize winner in the ath.
lete ring. We welcome the predict

with doubled fist will knock a man
out in four rounds like Sullivan.

fully expected to be an occasional
contributor, giving the news around
Cherry Hill. but like many other
good resolutions, / found each week
that had not written. So now as
the old year is drawing to close,
and many good christians are trying
to make some good resolutions for
1885. and forgetting their many fail.
ures of the past, III set me- down to
tell you that Cherry Hill is no longer
an out of.the.way.place. Last Friday
came driving into our town the W.
C. L. U. Executive Committee, which
was invited to this place at its last
meeting. The homes of our citizens
were expecting not less than SO, and
were anxious to see the first session
close expecting to have apportioned
out TO them about four to each fam.
lily, and were disappointed when on
ly so few in attendance. Our Presi
dent thought there was a good turn.
Out-about 20 in attendance counting
the delegation of Cherry Hill, So
every home had q few, which left an
impression that these ladies of re-
fnement and culture meant some
thing. The W. G. T. U. of Cherry
Hill are expecting an increase Of
members at its next meeting. So
you can see that our country towns
have pride, and will lend its aid to
the furtherance of the temperance
cause. What a privilege to know
that it is not essential Tor a woman
to keep her "talent hid" aud that it
is only the ignorant portion of the
"Lord Of Creation" would hinder her
intellectual improvement. This ut
ter antagonism is brought about by
jealousy, for in our colleges in regard
to attainments she is mans equal, If
not his superior. Had she been &C
customed in childhood to the use of
her muscles, l see not why her
strength should not be as great. AT
any rate she meets in convention,
transacts business, and in her en-
dcavors will some day over rule the

most pleasing part of our meeting is
the men take back seat! When

"Tax Payer"

Stan Is up in the Appeal OF THIS
we k and thrashes vigorously the old
straw which has been pounded SO
much, that like his ideal of road
making, there IS very little but
chaff left of it. With bouncing assur.
ance and loud a ,kle emulatirg the put
let lat lays very small egg, "tax
payer recommends the old, old
headless aud tailless system which
was old in this county before
he was born, and of which every body
got so sick of that any change was
welcomed to get rid Of it.
Ia the first place there was never
-"well hardly ever' a piece of good
road made under it; second, it grew
to be the most expensive plan for the
work done that could be devised;
and third it placed in the hands Of
the county commissioners host of
petty appointments, which turned
the county upside down with spawn
of the most contemplate politicians
that ever afflicted any community.
So much for our bouncing "tax pay
err friends idea who speaks with the
assurance Of one who held the tax
payers of this county in the hollow
of his hand. What we recommend
is exactly what he is trying to drive
at. with this important difference,
that ''tax payer would place the
man who uses the road every day;
who knows what repairs it needs, and
how it should be repaired, and who
pays taxes" under the control of the
county commissioners. In order to
get this most important individual to
keep the road in order, that is near
est to his property, we propose to di.
vide the county into small districts
and appoint these men by law to take
charge of the roads adjoining their
property, and not only furnish the
labor, the teams and tools to do this
work, but allow them to assess them
selves and pay the tax to keep these
roads at their own door in order, and
thus make doubly sure that money
raised to do this work is not wasted.
''Tax payer proposes to get at this
same thing by placing all these tax
payers under the thumb ofthe county
commissioners who will name such
as they choose TO mend the roads.
(who of course would he the most
active politician who worked hardest
at the primary to secure their nom
nation and held tickets at the polls
to secure their election and thus
placed the commissioners under obi.
cation to him) and collect the tax
from all these road mending tax pay
ers. place it in the general fund and
pay it back to whom?
OF course to the political bummers
who are busy twelve months in the
year setting up candidates for com
missioners. who in turn pay them out
of the public treasury for not mend
ing roads but for helping to secure

supervisors which "tax payers" system
gave us when in operation. the poor.
est sticks to do work. and the great.
est political thieves that ever wore
out shoes running the district after
night drumming up votes.
We propose to the tax payers to
stop this thing and keep it stopped,
while "tax payer proposes to bring
it back in its most crude, unmanage-
ole and Objectionable form. Such
twaddle makes us tired.
